Artist Statement
As a painter, designer, and performing artist I am captivated by personal adventures, diversity and the common thread that binds us. For the last decade, I’ve pursued work that explores elements of culture, spirituality, and sociology.
I consider other social groups experiences, values, and traditions when looking through my creative lens. This leads me to projects in and for a variety of settings and communities. Working this way has given me the ability to skillfully express an array of subject matter and themes that connect to cultural experience.
I currently host a podcast on Spotify called “Artist Behind the Art” where I feature diverse local artists and talk about their personal experiences and processes. I am working on a comprehensive plant study and collection, that will be rendered in various medium and at the beginning of 2024 I joined the Board of Directors for 'Friends of Avi Kwa Ame National Monument' where I help steward Nevada's fourth national monument. In all of my art practices, I celebrate the diverse and beautiful nature of our universe.
